Ψαλμοί 120

1 ᾠδὴ τῶν ἀναβαθμῶν πρὸς κύριον ἐν τῷ θλίβεσθαί με ἐκέκραξα καὶ εἰσήκουσέν μου

A Song of Ascents. In my distress, I cried to the LORD. He answered me.

2 κύριε ῥῦσαι τὴν ψυχήν μου ἀπὸ χειλέων ἀδίκων καὶ ἀπὸ γλώσσης δολίας

Deliver my soul, LORD, from lying lips, from a deceitful tongue.

3 τί δοθείη σοι καὶ τί προστεθείη σοι πρὸς γλῶσσαν δολίαν

What will be given to you, and what will be done more to you, you deceitful tongue?

4 τὰ βέλη τοῦ δυνατοῦ ἠκονημένα σὺν τοῖς ἄνθραξιν τοῖς ἐρημικοῖς

Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper.

5 οἴμμοι ὅτι ἡ παροικία μου ἐμακρύνθη κατεσκήνωσα μετὰ τῶν σκηνωμάτων Κηδαρ

Woe is me, that I live in Meshech, that I dwell amongst the tents of Kedar!

6 πολλὰ παρῴκησεν ἡ ψυχή μου

My soul has had her dwelling too long with him who hates peace.

7 μετὰ τῶν μισούντων τὴν εἰρήνην ἤμην εἰρηνικός ὅταν ἐλάλουν αὐτοῖς ἐπολέμουν με δωρεάν

I am for peace, but when I speak, they are for war.
